Last week, due to some rain, I had to put the t-tops on my 78. I noticed that when they were installed, there was a "gap" of about 2" between them. They were in the holes and locked down tight. I would think that they would butt up against each other when they were on. Am I wrong? If not, I...

I am looking at 3 books and was wondering if any of you have any opinions of them (and their worth). One is Weekend Projects For Your Corvette 1968-1982 The second, whose name I can't remember, is a cross reference manual for Corvette to GM part numbers. The third is the assembly manual...

I was gassing up the 78 yesterday. The gauge showed less than half a tank. Doing the math, I came up with 12+ gallons needed. The pump shut off at about 8 gallons. I knew that was too little, so I waited a moment for the air pressure to ease and continued pumping. It hit 12 gallons and kept...

I always used to believe "a vette is a vette is a vette...". Never had too much interest in them. I was more of a British sports car guy, or a street rod guy. Vettes just seemed too "stock" for me. Anyway, I bought a '78 from my brother-in-law's brother. Although it needs work (not a lot...

Mine has the Pace Car kit on it. However, I don't know where it came from. It was there when I bought it.

I ran across this on E-Bay.. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=1316&item=3688508123&rd=1 If memory serves me right, my '78 doesn't have an "easy access" rear window... Or does it???:_rock

I know what you mean about these things driven us to our graves. Oh well, something has to. Now that it starts again, it's time to replace that right blinker bulb behind the dash. Watch my line captain, I'm going in!

Interesting enough... I took the battery terminal conenctions off, scrubbed the battery connections and the cable connections with a wire brush. I put it back together, drove for about 45 minutes with the temp at 200 degrees. I went back home and shut it off. I tried to start it, maybe 15...

Well, it did it again. My daughter and her friend took it out for a drive (I wasn't home at the time). They drove around town for a bit and stopped at the local dept store. needless to say, it wouldn't start when they came out. It sat for 2 hours. Still no start. I took the jumper cables down...

I've been reading all the threads about starter heat absorption. My case is slightly different. I'm no wrench, so let me bounce it off y'all. Got the imposter back from getting the frame straightened (long story). Took it for a drive up the highway at "speed" to test the tracking. Drove...

There's a market opportunity....

I have a '78. I would be interested in doing that. I think they look much cooler than stock pipes. If you have any advice you can contact me off line at mwalter@hbci.com

I'm in a simialr situation right now. However, I bought the car from my brother-in-law's brother. Hard to call lawyers in on family. The car has a "pull" to the right. I noticed the right front wheel was pointing out when the left front wheel was straight. Ah, says I, a front end alignment. Took...

No can do. Next week... hot, humid, t-storms every day. This week, cold, humid, t-storms every day. I have a sailboat. I have only been able to go out on it once this year. May.. 10th wettest on record, June... coldest in over a decade, July... ???

I didn't know they were a "bonded" piece. That changes everything. I may take a look at those one Astro one piece tops. There seems to be more good responses than bad responses on the forums. My goal is not to restore to factory state, but have a good enjoyable car for the wife and myself and...

I have T-Tops on my '78. If I am correct, there are 2 panes of glass in each T-Top; and inner and an outer. On my car, the outer pane on each top is cracked. I have found a guy that has a wrecked '79 vette. It has what appears to be the same tops. On his, the inner panes are cracked and the...

Could we have a "sub" forum like the 2 that are under this general discussion area?

Thanks for the G2. I will see if the FE alignment is enough to make it pass the road test.

I like the one for the '79 registry. I am new to the 'Vette world, but not new to computers. Where do we go from here?

What did you have done, and how much did it cost? I may see myself doing it in the not too distant future. I am trying a front end alignment fist.
